Hey Men!I'm back fresh from a couple of weeks of vacation and good times with family. Added to that, Vacation Bible School is over, and I'm catching up on our late plans for the upcoming Man-Father-Son-Daughter Backpacking trip coming up in just a couple of weeks. We're going to Burnt Lake near Mt. Hood. Kevin Curry has been there for a b-pack trip before and gives it high marks. Burnt Lake is a moderate intensity hike that isn't too long. Just over an hour or so away by car, it is a good spot to pack in about 3 miles and then set up camp for day hikes, exploring and fun in the lake. Even younger kids should do fine. The lake is swimmable and fishable. It seems like a perfect place for a variety of fitness levels and ages.
Go here for a site with some good info about Burnt Lake, including the directions and a description of the hike. Our final info & directions will be sent out soon. Also, our main Men of Cedar website has some additional pictures and links to more info about the region.
We'll plan on leaving from the church by 1 PM on Friday Aug 21st and return Monday. If you need to meet us at the trailhead, let me know and we can work that out. Shoot me an email or give me a call if you plan on attending - which I hope you are! Also if you need gear - a pack, sleeping bag, tent, etc - let me know and I'm sure we can turn up extra stuff to share.
- Curtis
